The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Local device name is already in use - problem saving file on network drive

Asked by speedway in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: already, device, name, local, use

I’m using a Windows 2000 client workstation on a LAN in a pure Windows 2000 Domain environment.  I have several network folders mapped as local drives.  When I open a file from these mapped drives (Excel, Word, or text files) and try to save the under a new name (therefore the application will create a new file on the mapped drive), sometimes I get this error:

An error occurred while reconnecting H: to \\File-server\Word
Microsoft Windows Network:  The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored.
OK

I click on the OK button.  However, the file saves fine.  I would check on the mapped drive and the saved file is there.  So this error message doesn’t block or indicate that the file was not saved.  It’s just very annoying.

This happens sporadically.  Sometimes, I would not get any error message and the file saves fine.  The problem occurs with any type of file that I open and try to save it as another file.

I have no problems performing file operations on the mapped drives (i.e. copy, cut, delete).

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
